The People Could Fly

Newly Added • 21m

Directed by Imani Nikyah Dennison • 2024 • United States

THE PEOPLE COULD FLY is a poetic documentary about the history of Black gathering spaces in Louisville, Kentucky, from the 1960s to the mid-2000s. Through an intimate combination of archival footage, still photos, newly shot material, and newsreel, the film delves into the ritual of roller skating and how roller rinks emerged as sanctuaries for Black culture.
